We had just seen Dad two days before. It was a nice visit. I made sure as always before we left that Haylee gave grandpa Charlie a huge hug and told him she loved him. I also reminded Jim as we got into the vehicle to say I love you to his Dad. That was very important because I had lost my Dad so I knew it was important to always say I love you. I yelled I love you out the car window as we drove off.

Jim had just left to go take Mariah to her friends house and then was going down to talk to his Dad. He had not heard from his Dad since that two days before. Right after Jim left I got this awful sick heart ache and knew I had to go down to Jim’s Dads. Don’t ask me how but I knew something was wrong. I knew I needed to be there. Needless to say I got into the pickup and broke the speed limit to get down there. I just keep thinking no Jim you can’t do this by yourself. I was out of the truck as Jim was walking to the door yelling, “Stop, wait for me, You can’t do this by yourself.” He of course was looking at me like I was crazy. We knocked on all the doors. We knew he was home because his vehicles were all there. Jim went around to Dad’s Bedroom window and, turned to me and said, “It is ok, I can see him, He is just taking a nap.” I could hear Jim yelling at his dad to wake up and I ran across the street to call 911 I knew. I knew before that.

Long story short, Jim crawled into the house and Dad was gone. Dad was diabeftic and his sugar got too low. I was there with Jim for every moment. And Jim has thanked me a thousand times for being there for him.

God told me to be there. God told me my husband needed me. God is amazing and I am so Happy to know that Dad is up in Heaven living with Our Father. Dad was an amazing man and there are times when I see a face my husband makes that reminds me so much of my father in law. Dad was so funny, and always in a good mood. He was always working on something. He loved to be out in the garage. He loved to work on cars and just about anything else that he could get his hands on or convince you to let him work on.

Shelter Moutain

By Robyn Carr

A Virgin River Novel

John “Preacher” Middleton is about to lose the bar whan a young women and her three-year-old son come in out of the wet October night. A marine who has seen his share of pain, Preacher knows a crisis when he sees one- the woman is covered in bruises. He wants to protect them, and he wants to punish whoever did this to her, but he knows immediately that this inclination to protect is something much more. Paige Lassister has stuirred up emotions in this gentle giant of a man- emotions that he has never allowed himself to feel.

But when Paige’s ex-husband turns up in Virgin River, Preacher knows his own future hangs in the balance. And if there’s on thing that marines’ moot to Semper Fidelis- always faithful- has taught him, it’s that some things are worth fighting for.

Robyn Carr brings you into Virgin River and makes you feel like you are right there with them. This is my first time reading any of Robyn Carr’s books and I have to tell you that she quickly make you love her and pulls you right into the book and makes you feel right at home. I can tell you I will be reading a lot more of her books.

Preacher falls quickly for Paige but you can just sense that he does not think the feelings are the same. You will not believe some of the things that Preacher and Paige go through to keep afloat. Paige is ready to run away at the drop of a dime and who can blame her. You meet amazing characters in this book and you truly feel like you are sitting at the bar with them enjoying the scenery.

I love how the book leaves off right where the next book”Whispering Rock” picks up.

This is a must read book for anyone that loves a good romance and small town living.
